KIRKHAM & WESHAM STATION ENHANCEMENTThe Trust and Kirkham in Bloom are organising much-needed improvements to the appearance of the railway station. This will include clearing vegetation from the platform, re-painting the seating, installing raised planting beds and floral display stands, and paintings by local school children in the booking hall. A grant towards materials has been awarded from the Fylde Community Projects Fund, and a meeting with the Northern Rail station manager was held recently to discuss the project.
